New MythTV add-on using libcmyth

Did you install all the dependencies?

Code:

sudo apt-get install git-core make g++ gcc gawk pmount libtool nasm yasm automake cmake gperf zip unzip bison libsdl-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libfribidi-dev liblzo2-dev libfreetype6-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libasound-dev python-sqlite libglew-dev libcurl3 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libmad0-dev libogg-dev libvorbisenc2 libsmbclient-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpcre3-dev libdbus-1-dev libhal-dev libhal-storage-dev libjasper-dev libfontconfig-dev libbz2-dev libboost-dev libenca-dev libxt-dev libxmu-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libpulse-dev mesa-utils libcdio-dev libsamplerate-dev libmpeg3-dev libflac-dev libiso9660-dev libass-dev libssl-dev fp-compiler gdc libmpeg2-4-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libmodplug-dev libssh-dev gettext cvs python-dev libyajl-dev libboost-thread-dev libplist-dev autopoint

It looks like it have been a while since dtierney was online but I will speak to him when he comes back.

I have tested the most recent git:

recording does indeed work.

Would you be able to have a look at :

- only pulling current and future timers in to xbmc
- sorting the recordings by date

Also xbmc locks up and uses a massive amount of memory (600+ MB) when launching and updating the tv database. I dont know if this is caused by the add-on or the xbmc.

Thank you,

I had not installed the dependancies.
Just compiling now, taking a while.

Craig

once it has compiled once you can simply

Code:

cd xbmc

git pull

make 

sudo make install

it will only take a few seconds to build and install.

Can anyone who is testing the mythtv builds help with debugging?

it is done as follows:

Code:

gdb /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin

start

continue

If you have any crashes / segfaults post your terminal output to pastebin and paste the link here.

also logs can be useful, found here:

Code:

~/.xbmc/temp

DO NOT POST LOGS OR OUTPUT DIRECTLY HERE!! (Use a pastebin)

I prefer ubuntu pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/

Thanks,

Ignore this I had not installed the build dependancies.

Also for other rookies I had to run the bootstrap/configure commands as sudo

You had to run the bootstrap/configure commands as sudo because you grabbed the repository as sudo, so your local user didn't have permissions to write to the directory. You can fix this in the future by doing a

Code:

sudo chown -R username.usernmae directory

username obviously being your local user and directory being the xbmc directory.

The add-on caches the EPG information and I suspect that it can double the memory usage especially if you have hundreds or more channels. It should however be fixable. I will try to look into the sorting of the recordings. It will be easy to fix if XBMC uses the same order as the recordings are added.
I will try to figure out how to present the mythtv timers that matches titles instead of a specific time slot. I 'm not sure how mythtv handles it in the SQL database. Anyway I will try to implement it Sunday.

Another thing, remember to enable the extensive debug option in the addon configuratiob before posting the debug logs. It is disabled by default as it spams the log file.

Wow, that would be cool if you could find time to have a look at the timers and recordings.

What is your intention going forward?

Do you aim to maintain the add-on and keep it sync'd with dushmaniacs branch?

in function PVR_ERROR PVRClientMythTV::GetTimers(PVR_HANDLE handle)
I am using the following simple fix to only collect timers after the current time:

Code:

time_t timeNow;

      timeNow = time (NULL);

      if (tag.startTime < timeNow)

      continue;

after

Code:

tag.startTime=it->StartTime();

This is a simple fix and would probably need adjusting to capture currently happening recordings.

This has not been tested so may not work over a number of days, i.e if the database is updated?

I hope this helps.

Edit: This seems to be working ok. i've not tested it too much though.

Thanks,

I have problem with the memory usage climbing to 1.5gb when the database is first populated. I.e if I delete the database from the settings and turn the client on the whole machine locks up.

Does anyone know how to find memory leaks?

Valgrind?

Thanks,
